IN ITALY WE RUN LIKE THIS

At the finish line of a race on the Tuscan hills, participants line up to taste the coveted "fettunta", a slice of toasted bread generously dipped in extravirgin olive oil, with or without garlic. The oil is opaque, almost green, an indication that it has been freshly made by pressing local olives.

THIS MONTH'S RECOMMENDED EVENTS

 DECEMBER 4 - The Trail dei Nebrodi, one of the events of the Circuito Ecotrail Sicilia, held in Cesarņ near Messina, is not for the faint of heart. It is a partially self-sufficient ultramarathon in the pristine environment of the Parco dei Nebrodi on the Sicilian Apennines, the largest protected natural area of the island. Along the 65k course (but there is also a shorter 20k trail) participants are required to bring their own emergency supply, leave no trace, pick up their trash (or be disqualified) and run with no iPods or music players of any sort.

 DECEMBER 18 - Sorrento, Positano, the Amalfi Coast: for a runner in search of the perfect Italian running experience nothing beats the Coast to coast Sorrento-Positano marathon, a full 26-mile event, and a half too, starting from the birthplace of the "limoncello", the sweet liqueur traditionally made from the zest of the local Femminello St. Teresa lemons. The course reaches the famous village of Positano before heading back to Sorrento.
